I'm not scared
Of a monster hiding under the stairs
I hear a knocking and I'm going down there
I'm not afraid anymore
Well, every creature's real nice
If you ask about the things she likes
Spooking strangers and smoking on pipes
I'm a stranger no more

To emily
You'll always be a friend to me
You're more than just a ghost story
Emily

Well, I spent all day without her
But when it came to the witching hour
We'd go frolic in the flowers till my feet sure need a shower
Leave a few by the mausoleum
Hope your friends come out to see 'em
On a night like no other
Just another story for under the covers

Oh, emily
You'll always be a friend to me
You're more than just a ghost story
Emily

I'm not scared
Kinda like the monster under the stairs
I hear a knocking and I know she's down there
And I'm not lonely no more
